Read on for some of our favourite fashion trends for spring 2024.
Business Casual
This season is all about bringing back nine-to-five dressing. After four years of WFH ‘fits, it’s time to embrace business casual, but with a stylish twist, of course. To keep this trend feeling fresh and modern, opt for relaxed tailoring—think oversized blazers and loose trousers. Play with proportions by pairing it with a slim fit polo shirt or a button-up vest for a workwear look that’s effortlessly cool.

Colourful Knits
Michael Kors
Old Navy
Hear us out—knits aren’t just reserved for winter. In fact, given Canada’s often-turbulent transition to the warmer seasons, these are the perfect layering pieces to ease into the season and its ever-changing temperatures. The key here is to ditch the dark knits and go for something brighter and more colourful (butter yellow, sky blue and tangerine are some great options). And if you really want to embrace the knit trend, opt for a matching set that can be used to mix and match with other pieces throughout the season.
Textures, Textures, Textures
Fringe, feathers, sequins, oh my! The spring 2024 runways were filled with interesting textures making for some major fashion statements. The beauty of this trend is that it can be as loud or subtle as you wish—from a fringed leather jacket, a feather-trimmed dress and sequined skirt to fringed earrings and a glittery bag.

The North Face at Simons
This spring, channel your inner track star but with a chic twist. Elevated athleisure was a big trend on the runways, with preppy polos, rugby shirts, windbreakers and hoodies reigning supreme. Again, don’t be afraid to have fun with this trend and play around with unexpected pairings, like a tracksuit jacket with a flowy skirt or track shorts with a fitted polo and blazer.
Heavy Metals
Go for gold (or silver, or both) this season with the metallic trend. Not only were metallic pieces all over the spring 2024 runways, but they were also a popular choice on the red carpets this award season, with plenty of celebrities donning gold and silver gowns. Again, this trend can be as statement-making or subtle as you’d like and is a great way to add some extra interest to your existing pieces, whether in the form of metallic sneakers, mixed metal jewelry or full-on gold or silver ensembles.

Vagabond Shoes at Simons
As the saying goes, everything old is new again and this spring, we’re seeing a throwback to some of our favourite shoe styles from years past. The kitten heel is making a triumphant return in the form of square-toed mules, pointy-toed slingbacks and even slouchy ankle boots, while the ballet flat resurgence from last summer is still going strong, but this time with some added interest (think crystal embellished and mesh versions).
